Hello!
Impressive lyrics, but I'm even more impressed by how she's likely learned this song by ear, managed to get about half of the chords wrong, and it still works without changing the melody. Takes a good ear to be able to pull that off.
Well, no, because I was born in a world where large, dense urbanized populations have brought on the societal preference of having my own, private toilet. That's how you and me are used to go to the can. But we only need to go back a couple of hundred years and a majority of the human race would not understand why we have a hard time producing on the communcal six-hole squeezatorium. And the only real point here was that "natural" is a poor word and I'm on a personal crusade against it.
"if you live in the United States". As a non-American I rarely have more than surface level, contextual understanding reading American politics posts, because they tend to be very of-the-day and specific. So next, obviously, I'm in hyperfocus mode reading up wikipedia about your state's legislation history and your zoning laws and whatever else to grasp your post, and suddenly it's 5 hours until morning alarm, I haven't eaten dinner, ugh. I don't have that kind of time! Please tag your posts!
While I agree with the sentiment, shitting privately is actually quite a recent development, and especially if you consider the entirety of nature, far from natural.
I have a sudden craving for shishkebab.
That seems to be an outside area and mostly concrete. Cotton doesn't burn that hot, and it burns up quickly. I suppose this may have happened before, and they probably get away with minimal injuries and no real property damage, so why spend precious money on a fire extinguisher? That all being said, where the hell is the fire extinguisher?
Fair enough. English is my second language, and I also majored in it. But maybe my comment in its brevity was too knee-jerk from my teaching days. I honestly thought there'd been a mischoice of words. I've only come across 'eclectic' to express variety or selectiveness, as in an antonym for 'unilateral' or perhaps 'isolated'. However, if the sentence managed to convey an understandable meaning to its audience, then it's by all means and metrics correct. We both seem to agree at least on that.
Fair enough, then I just fail to see how the crookedness implies a multitude of influences more than unconventiality or quirkiness, although I wouldn't have questioned it if it wasn't for the "more eyecatching" in the comment's follow-up, which definitely applies better to eccentric than eclectic.

It's also really baffling to see how a human made construct has devolved to the point where a stain of ink on a piece of paper likely holds greater authority than an actual person. The point of the stamp is first and foremost to confirm whatever that paper claims by having an authorized person check through it and approve it, but the system has become so rigid and stale under the weight of its own importance that this purpose has been lost and replaced by a ritualistic performance of buraucracy.
Bah, it's not that hard. I haven't trampled a kid in over a week, and I don't get no attaboys for that.
Also, before you reply as you have elsewhere that you're not against bombing these planes, I had to translate that one part of your message, and there too you seem to say you're not sad that these planes were bombed. Cool. Then why did your original message literally start with "This saddens me"? If you wanna figure out why people are downvoting you, I'd start right there.
But that's exactly why this is such a strange argument to make in connection with this post, this particular news. By juxtaposing these two things you make it sound like these are two mutually exclusive things, that if we can't get the guy we shouldn't do anything else either. I don't doubt your heart's in the right place with this, but this is a very strange way of presenting it, and frankly the defeatism is on par with how Kremlin trolls try to convince the public that the war is inevitable.
That's a very naive take on how international politics, war, negotiations or pretty much anything here works. Putin's demands for a favorable cease fire agreement are now 40 planes worth weaker than they were before this strike. This operation by itself will absolutely not end the war, but together with the dozens of others it will definitely put him in a worse spot. It all adds up, and weakening the airforce is both very, very damaging for effective strategy, as well as very, very expensive.
Well, yes. I mean, if you read the post and have a thought then yes, undeniably yes.
It does not. But it does assume that the OC (original complainer) likely adheres to a worldview that women are something to possess and take care of, thus playing by their rules and absolutely destroying them in their own game. It does not consent or make an argument for that particular view.
the last one is uncanny though
I mean, it does pretty much run on an empty wish, so they're not wrong.
Bethesda Fallouts have shallow scripts and at times ridiculously bad dialogue, but they're still fun games to play. F2 is the most important game I've ever played. I don't expect there's ever going to be a Fallout game that is able to compete with the 25 years of personal history I have with the first titles. And that's fine. Why waste time expecting something from a particular studio or franchise? They don't owe me anything. There's so many other great games out there for me to find and play.
Moreover, a couple of those Roman candle shots getting uncomfortably close to going through the eye slit is nothing to sneeze at either.
How do you detemine the strength of the licking from a still, drawn image?? Like, is the word "lick" in a comic panel suddenly an SI unit or something? Moreover, the cat is hit by some sort of a ray that gives it a glimpse of cosmic understanding, and your gripe with it is that there's not enough blood in the comic for it to be realistic?
Oedipally amorous
Thanks, I will!
What a strange little nook of the internet you've created. I love it.
I know the post is supposed to be about food, but goddamn if that isn't a textbook example about how American urban planning and zoning laws are the result of merciless auto industry lobbying.
#20 I agree with the sentiment, but the typo made me chuckle. On par with the classic "Get a brian, morans".
By pervasive do you mean you run into truncated, non-expandable titles on many different platforms, or do you mean poor UI design in general?And I can assure you IT developers are just as annoyed by it, but they rarely have the time to pick and choose what they want to fix. My team has a quite a long list of things to fix, improve and future-proof, but instead we got targets from C-level to finish several "AI" features first. For context, none of our customers have requested these features.
Many here are commenting it's intentional for more clicks, but working in IT I would bet money it's because 1. a truncated title was needed in the past for something, likely because of limitations of the old layout or UI, 2. later they needed to design the info box with video links, and a developer found a ready title item to use and save time, and 3. it's been reported over an over again, marked a minor UI issue by a team manager, and the fix ticket is forever buried in a backlog of a backlog.
People do this now because of AI moderation tools used by most social media platforms. Screen raking has gotten to the point that if your image contains text, it's quite accurately read by the program. And if it contains anything that the platform provider considers "offensive", the post may get shadow banned or at least flagged for limited exposure. So, reacting to this absolutely stupid automated bullshit, people have started to self-censor their posts to actually get other people to see them.
